He Proved the Ground Hog Theory.
Mount Holly (Pa.) Echo. ID i.

John Roger, who resides about one mile west
of town, has in his possession grounding which
was captured last Spring. Since early last Fall
the animal has remained in the same position in
box, to all appearance asleep, and during this
period 1t has refused food or drink. Mr.. Roger
has kept the animal for the sole purpose of veri-
flying the old traditional story of his appearance
on the I'd of February. +, On that day close watch
was kept by members Of the family, and precisely
at IL O'Clock the animal came out and ran about.
Since then it comes out of the box often during
the day.

The Norfolk Trotter.-This breed of horses
must of necessity be interesting to readers,
its offspring has possibly fulfilled an important
duty in the creation of the American trottng
horse. The dam of that great sire, Rysdyk's
Hambletonian, was daughter of Belfounder,
whose place of nativity was Norfolk and that
other sre important indeed, to the horses of this
Republic, Corning's Harry Clay, descended from
the same maternal ancertry., So there is in this
country to-day hardly a single performing horse
of exceptional greatness, from Mr.. Bonner's Maud
s., to the least of those which have forced their
way into the 2:20 list, which may not be traced to
the horses of Norfolk through Belfounder, who
was imported about sixty years ago. g-I.i =, -fl5
just where the American trotting horse found
the springs of his greatness is a problem which
never will be solved. Such men as Hiram Wood
ruff declare it to have been in the loins of that
wonderful horse, imported Messenger; while others
point significantly to Diomed, winner of the first
Derby ever run, and forerunner of line which
has greatly ennobled our horsehesh. These posi-
tions are not to be gainsaid, and yet the debt to
the Norfolk trotter is by no means lessened when
we accord their true measure of merit of both
Messenger and Diomed, for the simple reason that
the blood of Norfolk's Bellfounder is in the ma
ternal lines of those giants of the stud Cornings
Harry Clay and Rysdyk's Hambletonian.
